Well lets face it - I'm an accident prone magnet and trouble seems to find me!
Didn't take long for me to get in to a tussle with the z750, this time i wasn't the only one involved:
Two busses blocked the thatched box junction in front of me and when the lights went green I snuck through the gap inbetween them (bus driver realised he's error and waved me through, gap wasn't big enough for a car though), only thing is a cyclist decided to jump the red light (from the other way, heading up a one-way street the wrong way) on the other side of the buses . . . BANG. . . Lights out cyclist ! I hit him slap bang in the centre as he crossed my path!
We then erm . . let say exchanged 'words'- he put the blame on me, and put the blame on him.
I said he shouldn't of jumped the lights and shoudn't of been going up a one way street the wrong way.
He said i should have looked both ways after riding through the gap (even though the lights were green for my lane of traffic only) and I was travelling too fast? Even though i had only just pulled away from the lights? I couldn't of been doing more than 15-20mph
I did end up dropping the bike (but he went flying!!
), but kept on my feet, It all happened soo fast I didn't even touch the brakes! Damage: The ball on the end of my clutch lever is snapped, but i've always wanted some short levers !!
Final thought - The cyclist got NAILED big style - We didn't exchange details, as we were too busy arguing. I think he took my number plate down and I guess i'll wait to see if I hear anything!
(all this and my first years NCB is due on the 10th Oct!
)
